A hypersingular boundary integral method for quasi‐static antiplane deformations of an elastic bimaterial with an imperfect and viscoelastic interface

A hypersingular boundary integral method is proposed for the numerical solution of a quasi‐static antiplane problem involving an elastic bimaterial with an imperfect interface. The interface exhibits viscoelastic behaviors and is modeled as comprising linear springs and dashpots. The proposed method is applied to solve a specific test problem.
